It's not always easy, and there are challenges that come with serving our community, but we've learned that every challenge is an opportunity to grow and make an even greater impact.

Did you know that food waste contributes to global hunger? By storing food properly, we can help ensure that families in need have access to nutritious meals.

Here are a few tips on food storage:
βœ… Store food in airtight containers
βœ… Use clear containers to easily see what you have
βœ… Label containers with expiration dates.

Let's all do our part to fight hunger in our community by properly storing our food and considering donating to organizations like Basket Brigade Canada. Together, we can ensure that everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.

As we go through our daily lives, we often underestimate the power of small acts of kindness. But for those who receive them, they can mean the world.

At Basket Brigade Canada, we see the impact of small acts of kindness every day. From a single donation to a few hours of volunteering, every contribution counts. It's amazing to see how these small acts can add up and make a big difference in the lives of those in need.

As I sat down with one of our Basket Brigade recipients, she told me a story that brought tears to my eyes. It was the story of how she and her neighbours were able to celebrate Easter last year.

Mary shared how she received a basket full of groceries. And it wasn't just her. She found out that many of her neighbors had received a basket too! She enlisted their help, and together, they made over 50 dinners for people living in the building next-door.

"It was so heartwarming," Mary said with a smile. "We were all in this together. And it wouldn't have been possible without Basket Brigade Canada and their donors."

This story is just one of the many stories that we hear from our recipients. It's why we continue to do what we do. If you want to be a part of this incredible movement, we would love to have you as a volunteer or donor. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of families who need it the most.

Want to make your grocery items last longer? Try organizing your pantry with the FIFO method: First In, First Out. Simply put the newest items in the back and bring the older ones to the front. This way, you won't forget about the items at the back and they won't expire unnoticed.

And hey, this tip also applies to donating goods at Basket Brigade Canada!

❀️ Help us deliver the gift of fresh, healthy food to families in need at the holidays!

Every dollar counts when it comes to making a difference in the lives of families in need. With your help, we can feed more families and spread hope and love throughout our community. πŸ’•

So, if you're looking for a way to make a positive difference in the world, consider donating to Basket Brigade Canada. Your support will go a long way in helping us provide food baskets to those who need it most. And remember to share this video and inspire others to give back, too! πŸ™Œ
